Ok!
I just got a phone call from my employer.
Its snowing here,,,, Its just a typical Colorado eary spring storm.
Not that big a deal,, But anyway, The employer made the decision to close the plant, and cancel all remaining shifts.

They informed me NOT to come in..
My time will be unpaid.

For those of you that work for MAJOR sized companies,, how many do not pay you if it is their decision to close the plant??

This is the first place I have ever worked in my 30 yrs experience, that has this policy.

Not bitchin,, but ,, I could EASILY make it to work and do my job.

Do you have any sort of agreement with your company, in writing?

About 40 years ago we had some snow in the Seattle area, about a foot. Boeing decided to cancel 2nd shift. Following day when we came in they told us to sign up for SL or Vac. I told them I would be signing for neither as our agreement stated we were paid for a 40 hour week with OT at a lower rate than time & a half. They consulted their legal beagles & we heard no more.

When I worked for Climax Molybdenum the policy was, the roads are always plowed, you know the weather concitions, you better be here & on time. Never had a problem though average annual Snowfall was around 36 feet.
